Back in 2010, people use to recommend booting into safe mode and using Driver sweeper.

I just installed a gTX1060, had a GTX9800 in right before... Can I just use the "custom > Clean install' option on the NVIDIA 1060 drivers in windows 10 or do you guys suggest driver sweeper or some other program and/or in SAFE MODE?
 
You can just plug the card in and install the latest drivers. No real need to jump through any safe mode hoops, in my experience.
 
The new deal is ddu. Grab that here.

Install it. Then boot off into safe mode. Run ddu. Select the option that runs it and shuts down for new card instal.

It will remove all traces of past nvidia drivers.

This is what I use every time.

Just make sure you have the new nvidia drivers already downloaded so you can install them on the first boot.
 
just update the driver. on the odd chance it goes goofy do the ddu thing.
 
ddu only if something goes wrong. If you're going nvidia - nvidia or amd - amd, take old card out, put new card in and don't mess with drivers, should pick the new one up and be ready to go right away without touching anything in windows.
